running a turbo w/o a intercooler is a bad idea... wait and get all your parts before you go turbo... do it right the first time so you wont run into problems...

It will run fine without an intercooler.... just don't boost so high and just a pipe where you gonna put the intercooler so later on you just take the pipe out and put the intercooler in place of it.... As long as your intake temps don't get high enough to preignite the mixture, you should be fine.
